"Purpose-Built, Fully Managed File Systems with Seamless AWS Integration"

4/5

What do you like best about Amazon FSx?

Amazon FSx provides a family of fully managed file systems optimized for different enterprise workloads, including FSx for Windows File Server, FSx for NetApp ONTAP, FSx for Lustre, and FSx for OpenZFS. I like that each option is purpose-built for a specific use case while providing consistent AWS management, security, backups, encryption, monitoring, and scaling.

Provisioning storage is straightforward, and native integration with EC2, EKS, ECS, WorkSpaces, and enterprise applications simplifies deployment. The managed nature of the service significantly reduces storage administration while providing high availability and enterprise-grade performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon FSx?

Choosing the appropriate FSx variant requires understanding workload characteristics, protocols, and performance requirements. Some specialised file systems may provide more functionality than smaller workloads actually require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon FSx solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon FSx simplified deploying enterprise file storage across a variety of application workloads without managing storage infrastructure.

Example: Windows applications used FSx for Windows File Server, AI workloads leveraged FSx for Lustre, enterprise NAS workloads migrated to FSx for NetApp ONTAP, and development environments adopted FSx for OpenZFS. Each workload received an optimized storage platform while operational overhead remained low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
